Couple injured in motorcycle accident

A Jackson couple was injured Saturday evening after their motorcycle skidded about 60 feet into a ditch, according to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
Steven Shively, 52, and his wife Carol, 51, were traveling south on Springbrook Road when they encountered a low hanging power line that stretched across the road.
Shively was unable to avoid the wire, which struck the motorcycle's windshield.
The motorcycle went down. Deputy Amy Betescq responded to the scene about 6:30 p.m.
The couple received non-life threatening injuries and were taken to Foote Hospital.
